THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

Saltuk! Gündüz! Saltuk! Gündüz!

Almıla Hatun.

Gündüz Alp.

It's obvious that you'll be a capable bey just like your father.

You surpassed your brother so quickly.

For sure, Almıla Hatun.

I'm learning to swing a sword like my father.

When will you take me for a horse ride?

I made you a promise.

But now, I have some matters to discuss with Artuk Bey.

I will take you for a ride soon after I'm done here. Okay?

Okay, Almıla Hatun.

Then, excuse me, Gündüz Alp.

Come on, alps! It's time to fight.

Dear God.

May I come in?

Come in, Almıla Hatun.

Welcome.

Thank you, Artuk Bey.

I have something to discuss with you.

Sure, what is it?

I'd like to send my men to sell goods in the Greek villages nearby and around.

Eynece and Karamis will be with them.

But you know, there are some bandits located around.

We don't want our goods to be harmed.

I'm here to ask you for a few alps to accompany my men.

Almıla Hatun, we'll guarantee the safety.

Don't worry.

I'll tell the alps to accompany your guys.

You can safely conduct business.

Thank you, Artuk Bey. That's a huge relief.

It's our duty to provide the security on these lands, Almıla Hatun.

We will do our best

so that you can conduct your business safe and sound.

Don't worry.

May God bless you.

I shall visit Mother Hayme, now.

Let me say hello to her. Take care.

Thank you.

This is as far as we go.

From here, you'll go on your own.

Very well.

We'll find our way.

Come on.

What do we do now, brother?

Ertuğrul Bey marked a place of meeting, we'll go there and wait for him.

Did he mark a meeting point?

Where is that place?

Remember this place, Turgut.

If anything bad happens, we'll meet here.

We'll go back to the tribe together, no matter what happens.

Of course, my bey. As you order.

Ertuğrul Bey knew something bad would happen here from the beginning.

That's why he showed me that place.

It's not good for Ertuğrul Bey to stay there, brother.

It's not good!

Ertuğrul Bey ensured the peace deal by sending us in advance.

Maybe he sacrificed himself just for the sake of the state.

Ertuğrul Bey can't stay there.

He can't stay there, brother.

We won't go home before we have him.

We won't go back to the tribe without him.

-Of course, we won't. -We will not!

We will spend the night here.

The Mongols will probably follow us.

Tomorrow, we'll get rid of them and go to the meeting point.

And we won't go to the tribe before we have my Ertuğrul Bey.

We will not!

Of course, we won't! We will not, brother!

Of course! Let's go.

Come on, boy. Come on.

What is Ertuğrul doing?

He is waiting for you for dinner, as you ordered.

Don't let him out of his tent unless I say so.

Seeing you sitting in a Mongolian tent

with such a victorious pose is a great honor, Ertuğrul.

Or should I say Sultan Ertuğrul?

Take a seat, Noyan.

Bring everything.

Let me embarrass Ertuğrul by being a better host than him.

You never forget about anything, do you?

I can be as furious as a lion,

and as stubborn as a camel, Ertuğrul.

Yet, I know you are not so different.

So...

why did you change your mind

and betrayed your beloved sultan and your state, huh?

You know very well that I didn't betray the state.

You didn't do it for gold,

but you did it for the throne.

You once told me to join Ögedei Khan's wild river...

with our swords and horses,

and run wild in Ögedei's river.

You also said that I shouldn't swim against the current.

I wanted to be a drop of water

in Ögedei Khan's wild river, and run wild.

That's all I can say.

Do you still have doubts about me?

You know, that young sultan...

he seems to be braver than you, Ertuğrul.

He won't go without a fight.

For his bravery,

I'll impale him and expose his corpse in the streets of Konya.

And if you betray Ögedei Khan...

I'll slay your children in the tribe...

of your father, Suleyman Shah, and I'll obliterate your kin.

Don't you forget this.

My girl, we liked you so much.

You have not only helped us, but many people in the tribe.

I'd like to gift this to you...

if you choose to accept it.

What a lovely dress.

What a kind gesture.

I'm the one who is grateful, Mother Hayme.

You made me experience the family feeling I had long forgotten.

Hopefully, we'll have many good days together, my girl.

Now, let us eat.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Here, my girl.

What's up, Mother Hayme? You seem a little sad.

I can't even sleep since Ertuğrul went

with that accursed Noyan.

It has been a long time, but there is still no word of him.

That evil bastard is capable of doing anything.

I am worried about my son.

You are right, Mother Hayme.

He is an unpredictable traitor.

I wish they didn't stop me from killing him when he came here.

We can deal with our unfinished business...

once Ertuğrul is here and when the time is right.

Hopefully, Mother Hayme. I can't wait for that day.

That murderer Noyan killed so many,

upset so many people.

You are right, Almıla Hatun.

He made everyone feel sad.

But sooner or later, God's justice will find that bastard.

Hopefully, my girl.

Come on, enjoy.

Ögedei Khan gave me this task.

But what can I do in the great Anatolia with a bunch of alps at my command?

Don't you worry, Ertuğrul.

Many Turkish alps in Anatolia are waiting to accept our rule.

Our spies have spread everywhere.

They'll all be at your command.

Anatolia is a tough place. It's not like anywhere else you fought in.

There are Oghuz tribes everywhere...

in Anatolia, waiting in battle formation.

Will your men be enough to beat them?

They will be more than enough.

Your duty is to open up the gates of Konya for us

without causing us to lose a single soldier.

I presumed you had men everywhere.

You wouldn't have come to Anatolia or Karacahisar...

if you hadn't secured it for yourself.

You'll have to gain my trust in order to get more information, Ertuğrul.

And to gain my trust,

you'll bring one of the children of your late wife, Halime Hatun,

then you'll learn where my men are positioned.

And then, instead of using the swords,

we'll use our brains and enthrone you.

Then, I shall explain all my plans to you in detail, tomorrow.

I'll help you get rid of the obstacles so that your army can march.

We'll see, Ertuğrul. We will see.

And before I forget...

The tribe of your brother, Gündoğdu,

is located near the Calap Mountain right now.

He also doesn't go too far in the winter.

If you fail to do your job,

your brother's tribe will go down first.

It's up to you.

You either go there and drink a cold ayran,

or you'll be drinking their blood.

Think it through, Ertuğrul.

We'll have a very important conversation in the morning.

Farewell for now.

Keep an eye on him and increase the security level.

As you order, Noyan.

The Mongols won't stop following us until we leave their territory.

We'll get rid of them at dawn and go to the rendezvous point.

Don't worry, Bamsi.

Why did our bey stay there? Why did he do that?

It seems the situation is tough.

He couldn't even speak to us while Noyan was there.

We'll find out everything once we get to the meeting point.

What if Ertuğrul Bey can't make it there?

What if the Mongols don't let Ertuğrul Bey go?

Then, we'll go and get him.

From the headquarters of Ögedei Khan?

Yes, brother. From the headquarters of Ögedei Khan.

We can burn that headquarters to the ground and get our bey.

For sure.

Well said, Bamsi.

We can't go back to our home without taking our bey with us.

We'll either be free together,

or we'll become martyrs together.

Of course.

Come on.

Oh, my girl Almıla. You look so beautiful.

Appreciated, Mother Hayme.

Almıla Hatun, do you only sell leather?

Yes, Gündüz Alp. We only sell leather.

It's the only thing we know.

So, how do you get leathers, Almıla Hatun?

We skin the animal we hunt, Gündüz Alp.

Then, we clean those skins and leave them to dry under the sun.

Then, they are ready to be used.

So, how do you hunt animals, Almıla Hatun?

With our bows and arrows, Gündüz Alp.

But hunting is a delicate business.

First of all, you shouldn't be cruel to the animal and torture it.

That's why we sharpen our arrow so much that the animals die instantly.

That's the most important rule of hunting.

Also, you shouldn't come so close to the animal you are hunting,

because they might get scared and run away.

That's why we build our arrows to go as far as possible.

Can we go hunting one day, Almıla Hatun?

Sure, Gündüz Alp.

Of course we can go hunting, once you are old enough

to shoot an arrow.

I'll teach you how to shoot birds.

Really, Almıla Hatun?

Of course, Gündüz Alp. But only if your grandmother allows it.

Sure thing, my Gündüz. Why wouldn't I allow it?

You should learn to hunt once you are old enough.

I'll go and check my Osman, now.

You keep chatting with Gündüz.

Don't worry, Mother Hayme.

Oh, my kind boy!

Helping his grandmother. My sweetie!

My God...

please protect Ertuğrul and his alps...

during their tough mission, and help them to come home safe and sound.

Unite these innocent children with their father.

Make him victorious in any battle he fights.

You are omnipotent.

For the sake of our prophet,

please spare Ertuğrul's life.

Don't make me lose a son...

and don't make these innocent children lose their father.

My God.

Amen.

Why are they hitting the drums, Carmagun?

Is it because of Ertuğrul?

A messenger has arrived bringing news from Ögedei Khan.

Let him come.

What's wrong with you?

Why the tears?

Speak up.

Ögedei Khan...

What about Ögedei Khan?

During a feast...

he passed away.

Ögedei!

Ögedei!

Ögedei Khan!

What are you saying, huh?

What are you saying?

How did my khan pass away?

He was just fine this morning.

It happened all of a sudden, Noyan.

I was there while he was dying.

He just collapsed.

He was standing his ground just like the holy Burkhan Khaldun mountain,

yet he passed away.

We are in grief.

Cut the hair.

May the eyes shed tears of blood.

May the earth cry and the sky be happy.

My Khan Ögedei is on his way to Ocmah.

May Tengri greet him with good spirits.

May he take a place next to Genghis Khan.

Let his wife Töregene, and his son Göyük Khan know.

As you order, Noyan.

His burial site will be secret.

The slaves who will bury him...

will be killed with his animals and widows.

They'll have the honor of being buried with the goods of our khan.

Ögedei's spirit...

will protect his army and his tribe.

Ögedei!

What is going on outside?

Accursed Turk!

Ögedei Khan died the day you arrived.

You'll not leave here alive! May the spirits curse you.

The so-called deal is over, Noyan.

Ögedei is gone, the deal is done, Ertuğrul.

Now, I'll send you to Tamag.

Ertuğrul!

Ertuğrul has escaped!

Ertuğrul has escaped!

Get on your horses!

Soldiers, get on your horses!

We won't come back until we find him!

I'll hunt you down, Ertuğrul.

I will tie you by your feet, first.

Then, I'll rip your heart out.

I will squeeze it so hard

even the Seljuks will hear your groans.

There will be Oghuz's blood flowing in Firat and Dicle...

instead of just water.

May I come in, Günalp Bey?

Come.

-Have the messengers left the castle? -Yes, Günalp Bey.

-Is everything ready? -Yes, Günalp Bey.

Our soldiers are positioned on the road. We have the strategic points.

Very well.

If Mongols try to attack our land,

it's our duty to repel them.

As you say, Günalp Bey.

Let's go.

The door!

His horse is wounded. He might have escaped to the jungle.

We'll leave the horses here.

Have someone guard the horses. We will find him.

-Welcome. -Thank you, Artuk Bey.

Almıla Hatun mentioned your request.

Of course, we'll do all we can to help you conduct your business safely.

Our alps will be accompanying you and ensuring your safety.

We knew you'd not leave us alone, Artuk Bey. Thank you.

Of course.

Eynece, Karamis.

Be careful.

Help those in need you come across on the road.

Don't forget to give presents to children.

As you order, Almıla Hatun.

Safe travels and goodbye.

Goodbye, Almıla Hatun.

Come on, alps!
